years ago, and who knew about all there was

failed and was left without cent He dis
appeared soon after and for eight months
was not heard from. One day he appeared
i'll Bangor in threadbare and ragged suit of
clothes, with an old white hat on his head
and a general air of depression. There was
big land sale that day in which eleven
townships. aliheavily wooded, were sold by
the state. A pool had been formed by u
party of long headed lumbermen to buy the
land for song. One of them suggested that
Sam Smith be invited to join the number,
but the rest laughed at the idea Of taking a
street 1oafer-what would be called a tramp
nowadays-into their counsels.
The bidding began, all of the offers being
ridiculously low. A smile went round the
company as Smith lounged up and bid
slightly above the others. "Let it CO." said
the pool men; che can't pay dollar" The
eleven townships We're accordingly knocked
down to him. But Sam very soon showed
them that he had the best of the joke From
an inside pocket of his old coat he pulled out
the $1,000 required to be paid down, and
offered to pay more. This placed him on his

Buffalo Bill in London.

Although Mr.. Cody has not been in Lon
don over a month he is today as well known
to the masses of this great city of 5000, 200
as is the queen. You could not pick up in
the most obscure quarter of London any one
SO ignorant as not to know who and what he
is. His name is on every wall. His picture
is In nearly every window. The wonder of
this lies in the fact that the London public is
strangely dull and unimaginative. The peo-
pie of one quarter are often as ignorant of a
neighborhood within a stones throw of them
as if it were in Central Africa. You find
constantly the proof of this in inquiring your
way about town. The policemen never know
where particular streets or buildings outside
of their beats are located.
An Englishman who has lived in London
for quarter of century tells me that no
one but an American would think of asking
a London policeman for anything in the way
of information. London policemen are often
placed on guard in front of English officials
houses where they are absolutely ignorant of
the name of the occupant. 1t is genuine
and not an affected ignorance. have asked
higher police officials about this and they say
that the men very often do not know and do
not care. I saw some twenty policemen
guarding one day the house of the prime
minister. l asked several of the men on
guard if they knew whose house they were
guarding. They ali replied in the most cour-
teous negative, Finally one of them re-
ferred me to an older constable who had been
on the beat in that neighborhood for some
years. and he was able to give me the infor-
nation. Imagine set of New York police
men guarding any prominent officials house
in New York without their knowing just
what they were doing, and particularly if ii
were the house of the chief officer of our gov
ernment.-T. c. Crawford in New York

The mail sometimes presents unexpected
advantages over the telegraph in stock specu-
lations A gentleman of this city who bad
made large investment in certain western
enterprise took a trip to look over the prop
erty on the ground. He was not particu-
larly pleased with his inspection, and made
up his mind to sell out quietly. Being sur
rounded by the promoters Of the enterprise,
he preferred to trust his directions to the
mail rather than the wire as the stick" in the
local office might be read, and the letter cer-
tainly could not be perused In transit by any
to whom its instructions would convey any
meaning. The letter took four or five days to
reach Boston, and in that time the stock had
taken a skyrocl1et fight. The broker sold at
once, and the result of the transaction was an
enormous profit to the absent investor, more
than ten times what he would have cleared
had he sent his order by telegraph. How
ever, it will not do to jump at the conclusion
that delay is any the less dangerous in the
stock market than elsewhere.-Boston Tran

An Eccentric Will,

Probably the most remarkable will ever
made was drawn up by Alderman Hartman,
of Pittsburg, on Thursday Feb II, 1887.
The testator, Ambrose Retharge, who is SO
years of age, after disposing of $4,000 in real
estate, directs as follows:
Il direct that my body be taken TO st.
Michael's church, and, after the proper re-
hgious services are performed, that it be
given in charge of my family, who will con-
vey it to Samson's crematory and there have
it burned to ashes, the ashes to be put in a
small bottle and given in charge of the German
consul at Pittsburg. This gentleman will
then forward my ashes to the consul at New
York, who will give them in charge of the
captain of the German steamer Elbe, who
will place them securely in his ship for the
ocean voyage. When at mid ocean l direct
the captain to request one Of the passengers
to dress In a seafaring suit and ascend with
my ashes in his hand to the top of the top
most mast, and, after pronouncing q last
benediction, to extract the cork from the bot
tie and cast its contents to the four winds Of
heaven. direct, also, while this ceremony
is being performed, that it be witnessed by
all passengers on board. After the Elbe has
completed her trip and returned again to
New York, want full statement of my
death and the scattering of my ashes in mid
ocean published in the Pittsburg papers, 50
that my friends in this city shall know my
burial place. e."-Historica Journal

The Pigmy and the Giant.

That the worm will turn, under certain
provocation, is an pndisputed axiom, but to
what avail it has ever been difficult to dis
cover. The Volks Zetung is a plucky, out
spoken journal, and in consequence Prince
Bismarck caused the editor to be proceeded
against, but failed i'll the undertaking. Now
the proprietor has turned plaintiff and has
prosecuted the German chancellor for parlia-
mentary offenses against the paper and its
editor The public prosecutor, however, has
given it as his decision that, as Prince Bis
marck is general of cavalry, he can only be
made answerable to military court.
To this The Volks Zeitung retorts that the
prince has never commanded with the colors
and that his rank of general is purely honor
ary. In support of this view it draws atten-
ton TO the fact that only the other day the
chancellor exercised. as he always has done,
his right of voting for parliamentary can
didate although soldiers on active service en-
joy no electoral privileges The Volks lei
tung announces quite seriously that it intends
to carry the case through all the civil courts,
and, if necessary, before military tribunal
which will have one effect, that of worrying
the chancellor to desperate resorts, as he has
a terror of anything in the way of cross
examination. This contest between the pigmy
and the giant will arouse a great deal of
interest in the fatherland

There is some reason to believe, judging
from the tone of Novoe Vremya and other
leading Russian journals, that the tax on
foreign residents in Russia, which these
journals so strongly advocate, may shortly be
introduced by the government A report Is
current that this tax will be fixed at $50 gold
rubles per annum, which makes about 255
rubles in the ordinary currency, or about
eos. The effect of such an impost would of
course be to drive out of the country the more
skilled and industrious artisans of foreign
nationalities. Like the foreign passport tax,
1t will act as, another check TO Russia's foreign
commerce. II such tax were limited to tho
heads of foreign houses and agencies in Rus
sia, there could be little or no objection TO it.
The English principals of such houses would,
/ am sure, agree in the justice of a limited
measure of this descriptions; but it is ex-
tremely short sighted TO make it so sweeping
in its application. Cor. London News.

M. DOrblgny, a traveller who was passing
through Guiana. in South Africa, was, when
encamped one night in the edge of wood,
awakened by what he took to be the cries of
a man in distress. He listened. and heard,
following each other in great rapidity, what
seemed to be a scream of terror and despair,
then supplication, and then a cry as of one
dying. The traveller leaped from his couch.
seized his gun, and hastily woke his Indian
guide.
"Come, this instanti" he cried "There is
some one being murdered in the thicket Let
us 60 to his assistance"
Thereupon the cries were repeated, and the
Indian listened. He burst into laugh.
"What do you means" asked the traveller
THAT, sir" said the guide, sis the ton ton
bird, perched on limb somewhere in the
neighborhood. 1t is only piece of mockery
Presently you will hear him laugh"
And then, in fact, wild shout as of laugh
ter rang out OH the night air,
The tion tion is a sort of South American
mocking bird, which has an extraordinary
gift Of imitation 1t is also bird of great
beauty of plumage. 1t is sometimes called
the "yellow neck" Its feathers are of lively
colors and its tail is brilliant and spreading.
The natives use its feathers to decorate their
hats with on feast days, and turn their head
gear into golden crowns in appearance.
The bird mimics almost every sound he
hears, as the parrot does The inhabitants of
Guiana assert that he can initiate faithfully
the accent of the English, French and Span
ish. Natural sounds and the cries of animals
of every sort he reproduces very cleverly.
The story is told of a negro who saw and
heard the tion ton for the first time, and who
exclaimed, after the bird had gone through
his long list of limitations of animals, "Ha
him eat whole mlenageriel"-Youth's Com

Those who can recall the dashing Bob Nc
Cook, whom Gen. Grant made governor Of
Colorado territory, would be surprised at the
change that time has wrought in his appear
ance. The years have not dealt gallantly hy
him. He strolled through the Hoffman cafe
yesterday, and though the STRONG physique,
erect carriage and handsome face We're still
noticeable, the fire and dash of the spirited
days of the past were plainly missing His
hair has whitened, his heavy black mustache
was fringed with gray and the struggles of
later years have stamped their imprint upon
his features. Mr.. McCook was the chief ex-
ecutive of Colorado when the mining boom
that has since made so many nillionaires was
yet in its infancy. When he resigned his
post he drifted into the speculative life of the
western country and grew rich from some
fortunate ventures. Most of the money went,
however. as it had come to him, and when he
came east few years ago his purse was no
bigger for the years of comparative isolation
he had spent by the side of Pixies Peak

and then call upon me and invariably kiss

and continuous consumption of garlic these
people, men and women, get it into their

clothes, so that they walk about In a small

sickly and sckening.

day in Madrid salon, while praising Eng

HOMES FOR WoRkINeMEN.
A Plan Proposed by New York Bust.
ness Man-The Home Hunger.


ness Man-The Home Hunger.
George Peabody gave homes to the work
ingmen of London. Erastus Wyman. a New
York business man. proposes in The Epoch a
building plan by which he can give homes to
the workingmen of New York His plan
combines the work of building and the life
insurance companies. To illustrate: Suppose
a man buys a house for s., 800; he will be
be asked to pay $500 down and given four
years at $500 each to lquidate the balance
II he lives, it is expected that he will pay the
entire amount; il he dies, the agreement is
that his wife gets the house and lot without
any further payment. So that, whether the
husband lives or dies, the family is sure of a
house and lot. The short term insurance for
the amount of the cost of the house can read
ily be put on the mans life, and il he dies the
insurance company pays to the building COM
pany the amount of the policy.
Here is suggestion for some of the Boston
philanthropists who do not object to doing
good in way which has in it solid principles
of business success. The plan is one which
would appeal particularly to the wives Of
workingmen, the more thrifty and conserva-
tive representatives of the laboring commu-
nifty. Women whose husbands earn less than
$50 a week, and who are obliged on small in
comes to care for their households, feel the
need of homes Of their own with a keenness
which the dwellers in luxurious city flats
never experience and cannot guess. The de-
sire of permanence is almost a passion, and
these women realize their inability to care for
their families in case of death of their hus-
bands much more strongly than is supposed
by those who imagine that the poor live chiefly
in the cares and pleasures of the day. A home
of her own means great deal to the wife Of
a mechanic, for example. Itis an unattain-
able castle in Spain to most of them. To put
home within reach Of moro workingmen
would be a practical charity which would be
well worth while, and charity in the revised
version doesn't mean aims giving by any
means, either-Boston Advertiser.

biggest Balloon OF All.

Capt Morton, the well known Birmingham
aeronaut, is building balloon which is to whip
creation. II is TO be made in thirty sections,
each sixty feet in length, and there is upward
of 5000 yards of sewing to be done by hand
and machine This fabric, which is being
manufactured in France, is an intermixture
of silk and cambria, and will be woven very
strongly, but TO weigh as light as possible.
Capt. Morton intends having 1t coated with
q special preparation, consisting of the best
india rubber, as he considers, after many
years experience, that it will be better
adapted in every way for ballooning purposes
than the old fashioned method of oiling. He
also finds that it forms perfect gas holder,
and offers better resistance to the elements.
The valves will be improved upon, and will
be fitted with four powerful springs, thus
keeping the shutters as close as possible to the
plunge, and preventing leakage of the light
gas. The netting, although light, will be OF
great strength, and Messrs. Gorton q Sons.
of Dudley, will supply the materials, which
will consist of the finest Italian hemp. Capt.
Morton expects to complete the machine for
Whit week, and hopes to arrange for it's
ascent in Birmingham. He will use il for his
voyage in August from Dover TO France in
the Channel balloon race.-Boston Transcript.

We are in position to state that the
county of Durham will shortly produce a
startling economic improvement in the mat
ter of fuel combustion and the heating Of
steam boilers Protection has been obtained
for the invention, and in the course of short
time we shall be in position to lay before
our readers the practical details. In the
meantime we can only in the most general
terms foreshadow the nature of the results at
tainable. The cubic bulk of fuel that will
henceforth be required for marine steam en-
gines will be reduced by 20 per cent, giving
a gain to the extent indicated by that proper
ton to the stowage space for cargo in ocean
going steamships The time for raising steam
will be diminished in all steam boilers, station
airy or marine, by at least two-thirds. The
cost of fuel consumption will be reduced by
more than one-half, and the production of
smoke will be absolutely annihilated. The
process has been made the subject of actual
experimental demonstration. Every test has
been applied The results we have given
above are the understated consequences of
experiments made under circumstances the
reverse of favorable to the invention.-Eng

The Panama Tragedy,

De Lesseps will not hasten to inform the
Paris bourgeoisie who have sunk their francs
in the Panama canal that water has flooded
one of the deepest and longest cuts, although
high above the prospective CANAL work. The
earth and rocks taken out represent a cost of
millions Of dollars, but the water has washed
back more than enough to fill all the cuts,
and the work is valueless and the millions
wasted. 1t seems as if the Panama tragedy,
which has cost so many lives and engulfed so
many fortunes, might as well be ended. The
most trustworthy accounts tell of men dying
like sheep, money squandered upon utterly
improbable work, very little advance, and
the prospect hopeless. De Lesseps' abundant
faith in himself may float the project little
longer, but it viii be at a cruel cost,-Frank
